Joy de Rohan Chabot: Decorative Arts
Joy de Rohan Chabot presents a temporary installation at the Château d’Haroué.
120 steel butterflies (plain or patterned), fully hand-made, of all sizes and different shades of blue invade the facade of the Castle, and gently rest on huge piles of wood or on the trees in the middle of the courtyard and in the park, but also inside the castle, on the walls of the beautiful salons. With this installation, Joy de Rohan Chabot wanted to pay tribute to the butterfly, symbol of our childhood summers and alarm us on the possibility of its disappearance.
The exhibition continues inside the Castle where we find, in living rooms, thirty pieces of painted glass, bronze, iron … (candlesticks, chairs, lamps, mirrors, screens, tables, stools, vases …) inspired by nature.
